The Twisted Willow was a fun find when I was exploring Downtown Smithfield. It is located in the…read morebuilding that was once home to the Gabriel Johnson Hotel. The 120-year-old building had been condemned at one point, but was renovated in 2021.
The building has 20-foot ceilings and exposed brick. The boutique is large at 3,500 sq feet. It sells antiques, furniture, books, coins, comic books, home accents such as lamps and decor, specialized foods, soaps, jewelry, pillows, dish towels, candles, and topiary. I'm sure I missed items.
I overheard a couple mentioning that they have church pews from time to time. I left with vintage postcards and a mini metal bicycle with a chain and kickstand. It was so unique I decided to grab it while it was there.
If you are in Downtown Smithfield, make sure to stop in Twisted Willow for quality service and some unique finds.
